Played Deadlight.
Waste of money. Might be worth <$5. Not $15. Only took like 1.5hrs to complete and I was taking my damn time (and dying a lot due to piss-poor keyboard controls)
Moral of the entire game's story: Women are totally pathetic, useless, annoying parasites of human life
ugh

It is a nice indie title. Like if someone from here posted it on here, I would be like "HOLY SHIT!!! GOOD JOB! Some problems with it, but NICE WORK BRO!!".Meness":19jvh1pf said:
But is it worth $10-$15 on Steam or XBL? No, probably not.
It's fun, but the shortness, shittiness of keyboard control, and writing are ... Frustrating.
It's a linear, narrative game, with a diary and narrator, so you expect a lot of work to go into the writing, or the development of plot. The "lore" really looks like people put some effort into it, but then no one really bothered to check it for grammar, or tell the writer(s) that non-existant character development and middle-school-esque expressions of darkness or dreariness are not great.
And, considering the simplicity of the side-scrolling mechanics, I REALLY expected there to be multiple outcomes, or even just a few multiple paths in how things play out. It wouldn't have been difficult, and would have made it a lot more rewarding of a game -- even if it were short -- if the player were allowed to affect the outcome (which is SHITTY WTF GOD DAMN HOLY SHIT WHO THOUGHT THAT WAS A GOOD ENDING THEY MUST HAVE BEEN 14 AND THOUGHT THEY WERE BEING REALLY "DEEP").
In the end, DeadLight is one of those instances where the devs concentrated more on pretty graphics than on making a FUN game.

I know, right?? See, those writers know how to write a good apocalypse plot. I found myself giving a shit for pretty much every character -- even minor, secondary ones.
I'd play a scene where you have no real control over whether or not some minor person dies, and then be like "holy shit no wait I can fix this" and then rewind some scenes to try again and see whether I could affect the outcome or not.
There's only been 1 guy who I basically just said "eh" about when he bit the big one. It should be pretty obvious who it is -- Just unpleasant, nonstop. But then even he had some redeeming qualities that made me feel a LITTLE bad about it.

Already did -- I'm just waiting on Ep 5 now :P
Who was extremely unlikable in Ep 4? Of everyone you met while they were still alive, and who you spoke to person-to-person, I mean

Ohhhh wait, unless you mean Ben?
I felt bad for the kid for the most part, until he totally abandoned Clem (twice) and then absent-mindedly took the axe out of the door to let in the horde ... Initially I let him fall just because I didn't feel like Kenny pissing on me about it later, but then Clem flipped out about my letting him fall (and jesus christ his death was HORRIFIC -- not as bad as Mark but pretty bad) so I rewound and saved him. But then he gladly came with me at the very end of the episode without second-guessing, so that redeemed him a bit.
He's just an awkward teenager, though, and he never means to do harm to anyone. I couldn't really HATE him.

The one thing that bothers me in the game though, ... And this is understandable as it seems mostly as a mechanic of affecting the gameplay, but:
What I find annoying is that whenever Lee makes the tiniest white lie, or has to make a tough call, everyone shits all over him about it forever.
Like okay I saved Kenny's son and stuck up for him the whole time, but I agree with Lilly like 2 times when he's acting like a dick, and he just pretends not to see me when I'm about to get ganked instead of running to help??
And then I make it out of that alive but he STILL acts like he can be mad at me?? WTF bro
You know, shit like that ... The characters are a LITTLE too touchy about minor disagreements. The game probably does a check to see how many times you've agreed or disagreed with them to affect how they react to you, but not all decisions are equal, and they probably should have done it on a variable, weighted scale. (For instance, saving a man's child and always doing right by the kid should outweigh pretty much anything else, and he should pull for you no matter what, unless he's an evil asshole or something)
Also it REALLY pissed me off that I did EVERYTHING goody-two-shoes, except for telling Vernon that Clem was my daughter (hello?? gun pointed at my head?? and why couldn't I say "well i think of her as my daughter"??), and he chews me out for being a bad leader. >:I
fuck you, homeboy
I bet it's because Lee's black
buncha rassicts

what i'm REALLY bummed about though is that the two people in the whole game that seem like the greatest survivors -- Charles and Molly -- die and leave, no matter what :/
At the end there I felt like I was just ending up with all the runts of the litter or something. "Yay, I get a short dude with a fucked leg, a pregnant bitch, a bumbling teenager, and a guy who holds grudges like no one's business who probably wouldn't mind dying anyway. Great."
